With the restart of ferry service.....sometime around Memorial day (US) I was hoping to get a feel for a full blown get together in Rochester. I have plenty of room, Huge yard with BBQ, and live about ten minutes(walking) from the Port of Rochester. It would be a blast to get us all togther for food and drink.....I'll even get the kids to sleep at Grammas.....heh.

Let me know people.

Without a windfall I'll just have to check out amonkie's party pics. Would be way cool but ...

Hmmm, will paddyjoe possibly borrow back the camera while amonkie makes me gnash my teeth and snarl at the fates? Maybe I should try some second story work to build up a nest egg, just so's I don't have eternal regrets

This sounds good to me... I am tentatively a yes. It will all depend on my wife's plans for the cottage this year. But right now, the last weekend looks good.

Any other Torontonians on board for a Lake Cruise and BBQ?
